In foro contentioso is a Latin term that means "in the forum of contention or litigation." It refers to a legal action that has been contested in court, and the parties involved have been fully heard on the merits of the case.

For example, if a person sues another person for breach of contract, and the case goes to trial, the decision made by the judge or jury would be considered a decree in in foro contentioso because the parties were fully heard in court.

John and Jane are in a legal dispute over a property line. They both present their arguments in court, and the judge makes a decision based on the evidence presented. This decision is considered a decree in in foro contentioso because the case was fully litigated in court.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
